River

This emotional track is about overcoming the dark times and stepping back into the light. It was inspired by the rejuvenating effect for Josh Groban of walking to the Hudson River alongside his dog.

So, I walk down to the riverWhere the troubles, they can't find meLet the waters there remind meThe sun will be there when we wake

Groban explained to People that the "river" mentioned in the song represents hope. "Whenever we have dark times in our lives, whether we suffer from depression, or addiction, or anxiety, or even just having a really bad day, the worst is that it feels like we are suffering alone," he said. "In a world of billions connected by social media, far too many people feel this way and while the conversation is getting better, it's not talked about nearly enough."

Josh Groban wrote the song with:

Bernie Herms, who is the husband of CCM singer Natalie Grant. Herms' other credits include co-producing Hillary Scott & The Scott Family's "Thy Will," which won a Grammy for Best Contemporary Christian Music Performance/Song in 2017.

Fall Out Boy's "The Kids Aren't Alright" song title is not a reference to The Offspring's 1998 single of the same name. It actually alludes to The Who's 1979 rockumentary film called The Kids Are Alright.
